Mara Superior, The Pursuit of Happiness, 2012–14. High-fired English porcelain, ceramic oxides, underglazes, Cornwall Stone glaze, wood, gold leaf, brass, bone, and paper, 27 1/2 x 25 x 20 in. Collection of Merle and Barry Ginsburg. John Polak Photography.
Shelburne Museum welcomes its Member community to a special evening with acclaimed ceramic artist Mara Superior for an illustrated panel discussion exploring her nearly five-decade career working in porcelain. She will be joined by Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, the Anthony W. And Lulu C. Wang Curator of American Decorative Arts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Kory Rogers, the Francie and John Downing Senior Curator of American Art at Shelburne Museum.
Together, they will examine the autobiographical nature of Superior’s work, her artistic influences, and the historical precedents that inform her practice. The conversation will also consider the evolving themes in her art—including the significance of home, food, travel, fine and decorative arts, and activism—as well as what lies ahead in the next chapter of her remarkable career.
Open to Shelburne Museum Members.
